Indian Markets Face Downward Pressure Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Indian stock markets are expected to start lower on Friday due to worries about higher oil prices and tensions in the Middle East.
Global markets are also feeling the pressure, with oil prices rising and stocks falling.
Experts say the markets might continue to drop unless they rise above certain levels.
Investors are being cautious, and there's a lot of uncertainty.
Some think the markets could bounce back if they go above key levels, but others believe the downward trend will continue.
Indian equity markets are set for a gap-down start on Friday due to geopolitical tensions and rising crude oil prices.
GIFT Nifty Futures are down 202.60 points, indicating a weak start for the domestic market.
Asian and US markets also fell due to rising oil prices and inflation concerns.
Brent crude prices are near $100.85 per barrel, with attacks on oil tankers in the Red Sea adding to supply concerns.
Nifty and Sensex are expected to remain under pressure, with key support levels at 23,700-23,750 and resistance at 24,000.
